This stunning mansion house is understood to have originally been built around 1818. The current owners lavished a great deal of time, expertise and expense to transform and rebuild the walled ruin in 2015/2016 to create the outstanding home it is today. Spanning 3.5 floors, Pittrichie Mansion House has been beautifully restored in the original style and is presented in show home order. Features include ornate and plain cornices, ceiling roses and high ceilings. Flooring includes walnut boards, porcelain tiles and marble tiling. The luxury dining kitchen, the larder and the utility room are fitted with fine handcrafted cabinets by Laings of Inverurie who also supplied the sanitaryware. There are two ground floor open fires and a lower ground floor wood burning stove. Most of the radiators are a traditional chunky column style.

An ornate dressed granite pillared private entrance with two sweeping tarmacadam driveways edged with cobbles leads to the courtyard buildings; at the front of the house is a large gravelled circular driveway. This sets the tone for an impressive arrival which continues with a central granite walled shrub bed and ornamental fountain. A stunning external horseshoe-shaped staircase showcases the specification and attention to detail evident throughout the property. The staircase incorporates dressed grey granite steps and landing, pointed granite sides and ornate metal balustrades. Storm doors open into the entrance vestibule. At this level are the main reception rooms offering superb entertaining and circulation space. At the lower level, the heart of the home is the stunning dining kitchen which is fitted with a comprehensive range of hand crafted cabinets, drawers and shelves. These are complemented by polished granite worksurfaces with bevelled edges. The central island incorporates storage units and an overhang breakfast bar.
